How much snow is predicted? Are you going to need a shovel, snow blower or a snow plow? :) Make a Slomo Snow Angel please!

[Slomo]

It should be fairly light (10 cm max). It's dark now over here (I've adjusted the camera path so you can see the snow better) but the temperature is only around 0 deg C, which is not cold enough for the snow to start covering the road (the grass and trees are already white though).

But if the meteorologist are wrong (wouldn't be the 1st time) I won't be making snow angels, but you will see a special program called "Slomo shoveling the #%%$" snow from the #%"$&# driveway!"

:lol

It's that damn global warming Slomo. I read in the paper where
you all were having some really cold weather.

It's that damn global warming Slomo. I read in the paper where

Our northern neighbours (Austria) received totally crazy amounts of snow during last week, which was very unusual. So I guess we're going from one extreme to the other.

In average it should look OK, but we are definitively seeing some crazy weather the past few years (most weather related records have been broken over here in the past 10 years).

[ShoogarBear]

Do they have color in Slovenia?

[Slomo]

:flipoff

[ShoogarBear]

Also, do you have any good-looking neighbors who might leave their windows open?

[Slomo]

You'd be surprised!

She's a little young for you though. And judging by the increasingly expensive cars (and their owners) that are visiting next door, you'd have some real tough competition.

:oink

Maybe this winter since not last:

holy crap that looks like a painting

That is so cool! Thank you for the peek!

Slomo,
Looks like you are still getting snow! I think you should go outside and write a message in the snow for us...:)

There was this old and corny joke from our Yugoslav days:
After a whole night of snowing Tito found that someone peed in the snow in the front yard and wrote "Tito sucks!", he immidiately summoned the secret service and they analyzed the whole thing. It turned out that the DNA was from the prime minister, but it was in Tito's wife handwriting.



It's still snowing but it's too warm so the snow is melting resulting in the worst result (it's wet, cold and slushy). If it's going to snow I like it when it's cold, then the whole scenery changes and it becomes similar to the lake Bled picture that Ploto posted. Right now it's just miserable.

At least I don't have to shovel it. Yet...

Are you Yugoslavian relocated to Slovenia?
His family was Austro-Hungarian way back when, then they ended up in Yugoslavia, and now they live in Slovenia.

Winter sure as hell ain't near here... go look at the current temperature in the desktop thread.

Are you Yugoslavian relocated to Slovenia?Slovenia used to be part of Yugoslavia.

Yes I know, but I was just wondering if you are a native Slovenian or an immigrant as a result of the Balkan War. I have some very dear friends from Sarajevo who relocated to San Antonio after the war. There is quite a large (in my opinion) Yugoslavian community here and I have met many wonderful people!

I wasn't aware of a large ex-YU community in SA, but it makes sense that your friends are from Sarajevo. Bosnia got the worst of the whole Yugoslavia debacle and as a result has the highest number of expats all over the world. Bosnians are good people and Sarajevo used to be the best of the capitals to visit - always a party going on somewhere. I hope you get treated to some real Bosnian food by your friends - it's delicious and very different from what we're used to because of the oriental influences.

I know of a large Serb community in LA, where the majority actually immigrated before the war, specially from Belgrade (young educated people in Belgrade had a rough time during the latter parts of the 80s). I've met a lot of them and it's funny how they managed to keep their ethnic character and a lot of traditions without having any allegiance to their old country (can't really blame them). Many actually refuse to go back even to visit.

If you ever visit SA, I will introduce you; they love to meet others!

Wow! POW during the Bosnian conflict is one of those things that I would probably put after death on a list of things to do. The things that happened there were atrocious.
What Ethnic group do your friends belong to? (Croats, Serbs, Bosnians/Muslims).
I was very lucky the past few years to visit San Antonio once or twice per year, I hope my luck will hold and I'd love to meet them.
